NotCo: “AI Is Becoming the Missing Layer Between Nutrition Guidance and What Makes It to the Shelf”
Vegconomist • Apr 21, 2026
Alisia Heath, Vice President of R&D at NotCo, discusses how the 2025-2030 US Dietary Guidelines are reshaping innovation priorities for food and beverage companies. NotCo's AI platform, Giuseppe, accelerates R&D timelines and reduces friction in innovation cycles by turning food innovation into a data problem, allowing for rapid concept generation, formulation, and market-ready product development in a matter of weeks.

By leveraging their AI technology, NotCo has helped major CPG partners like Barry Callebaut and Magnum adapt their product lines to meet evolving consumer and regulatory expectations. The company's AI-driven reformulations ensure that products still meet consumer expectations for taste, texture, and price, even when moving away from traditional ingredients and formulations. Looking ahead, innovation in categories like ready-to-eat meals, beverages, and healthier indulgences is expected to accelerate as companies race to align with policy pressures and changing consumer demands.
